I came here for a TB test needed for a job. It was not crowded on the Monday morning. 206 and 206A doors are separate but opens to the same lobby. Clean and good well versed staff. I filled out the forms and test was done fast and with well explained process.
Downstairs is Subway and a good large well spaced Pharmacy. Opposite to the building is a Starbucks which was nice as I needed a coffee early morning. :-)
Lets see how it goes in my second visit when I pick up the results, but so far I had a good experience.

I have escorted numerous groups of travelers to Africa & India, personally I have used Nova Travel Clinic in Victoria for many years & I always refer my clients to this Clinic. It is so very important to have expert advice with regards to recommended medical precautions for travel. Nova has always supplied excellent service and makes everyone feel secure in the expertise received. The information they share is always up to date and detailed. Paulina who most of my experiences have been with at the Clinic, is knowledgeable and welcoming!

Excellent experience at this travel clinic. We were given A LOT of information, which can be somewhat overwhelming, and hard to remember. Luckily, we didnt have to - a copy of all the information was emailed to us. The medical professional was very thorough, and although we are travelling to a "high-risk" area of the world, we feel confident that we have been given the best advice for how to protect our health. Staff was very pleasant. Would definitely recommend!

I am a seasoned traveller and it is always a pleasure to deal with the staff at this clinic. Paulina is so well informed about different countries, risks that could be present and what I need to know about the drugs I will need. The front counter personnel are warm and friendly and even though it might have been a while since I was last in, they invariably ask about my recent trip. This is the only clinic I will go to as the service is exceptional. Thank you to the entire team
